Our thoughts

Details inspired by the 800 Series Signature, carried into a compact two-way cabinet for owners who want that thinking in a bookshelf footprint.

The 165mm Continuum cone and Tweeter-on-Top carbon dome sit close together, a layout designed to bring the drive units nearer a single point of origin, which suits listeners seated close in. The upgraded mid-bass motor and improved capacitors are aimed at firmer control through the bass and midrange, and the more open grille leaves less in front of the dome. The decoupled dome is isolated from the cabinet to limit box-borne colouration, while Flowport is designed to extend bass from a compact enclosure.

The 705 S3 Signature suits smaller and medium rooms, nearfield listening and anyone who wants 700 Series Signature detailing in a bookshelf format. Cabinets come in Datuk Gloss or Midnight Blue Metallic. Call or drop in to talk through amplifier matching and room fit, the two decisions this model raises.
